Spin of the Proton
Particle physics experiments conducted at the CERN, DESY, JLab, RHIC, and
SLAC laboratories have revealed that only about 30% of the proton’s spin is
carried by the spin of its quark constituents. [11]
A team of physicists suggested that the fundamental building unit proton can
alter its structure under certain circumstances. Scientists are now performing
experiments to show that the structure of protons can change inside the
nucleus under certain conditions. [10]
Exotic Mesons and Hadrons are high energy states of Quark oscillations.
Taking into account the Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic
oscillators, we can explain the electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and
Strong Interactions. Lattice QCD gives the same results as the diffraction
patterns of the electromagnetic oscillators, explaining the color confinement
and the asymptotic freedom of the Strong Interactions.

Viewpoint: Spinning Gluons in the Proton Particle physics experiments conducted at the CERN, DESY, JLab, RHIC, and SLAC laboratories have
revealed that only about 30% of the proton’s spin is carried by the spin of its quark constituents [1].
This discovery has inspired a 30-year global program of dedicated experiments and theoretical
activity to understand the internal spin structure of the proton. But there are several questions. Why
is the quark contribution to the proton’s spin so small? How much of the proton’s remaining “spin
budget” is contributed by gluons, the particles that mediate the strong force between quarks (Fig.
1)? And how much is contributed by orbital angular momentum? Yi-Bo Yang from the University of
Kentucky, Lexington, and colleagues now present the first theoretical calculation of the gluon
contribution to the proton’s spin that uses state-of-the-art computer simulations of quark-gluon
dynamics on a spacetime lattice [2]. Their new result suggests that gluon spin constitutes a
substantial fraction of the proton’s spin.
Protons behave like spinning tops. But unlike the classical spin of a top, the spin of the proton and of
other elementary particles is an intrinsic quantum phenomenon. This spin is responsible for many
fundamental properties and phenomena, including the proton’s magnetic moment and the phases
of low-temperature matter.
The proton is described in quantum chromodynamics (or QCD, the theory of quarks and gluons) by
an inner core of three confined valence quarks and a sea of virtual quark-antiquark pairs and gluons,
all surrounded by a diffuse cloud of virtual pions (light-mass bound states of a quark-antiquark pair).
The relativistic motion of all of these particles means that they each carry orbital momentum. The
spin of the proton is built up from the intrinsic spin of the valence and sea quarks (each 1/2) and the
gluons (spin 1) and their orbital angular momentum, where spin is measured in units of Planck’s
constant divided by 2p2??. The proton spin puzzle is the challenge to understand how these
contributions combine to yield the total spin 1/2 of the proton.
High-energy particle-scattering experiments have found that the quark contribution to the proton
(30%) comes entirely from the valence quarks; there’s just a very small contribution from the quark-
antiquark sea [1]. The quark spin content deduced from these experiments could be so small for
several reasons. First, the act of putting a relativistic particle, such as a quark, in a confining cavity, as
is the case in the proton, generates some shift of total angular momentum from spin to orbital
contributions. Second, gluon spin can screen the total quark spin contribution through a quantum
effect called the axial anomaly [3]. Third, a topological effect can delocalize the quark spin inside the
proton so that it is, in part, invisible to scattering on individual and localized quarks.
The study of the gluon spin, which is the focus of Yang and colleagues’ work, is useful in
understanding both its share in the total spin budget and the size of the axial-anomaly effect.
Experiments in the last decade at CERN and RHIC have provided valuable information on the
proton’s gluon spin. The spin and orbital contributions to the proton’s spin depend on how deeply
one probes inside the proton: what appears as a single valence quark at low resolution emerges at
higher resolution as a valence quark surrounded by a sea of quark-antiquark pairs and gluons. These
gluons will carry spin and orbital angular momentum. When one probes deeper inside the proton,
and thus sees a greater number of gluons, the angular momentum summed over all of the proton’s
constituent particles is always conserved. At the resolution scale of the experiments, one finds that
gluons that carry more than 5% of the proton’s regular momentum contribute about
0.2±0.050.2±0.05 units of spin to the spin-1/2 proton [4]. Early QCD-inspired models of the proton’s
spin structure [5] and an early QCD spacetime lattice calculation [6] had suggested a gluon spin
contribution of less than about 1 at the same scale, less accurate than present experiments.
In their study, Yang and co-workers have calculated the gluon spin contribution on a spacetime
lattice using state-of-the-art computer simulations of QCD. The lattice calculations involve quarks
with realistic small quark masses, close to their physical values, which is a major improvement on
earlier work. They find a total gluon spin contribution of about 0.25±0.050.25±0.05 at the same
resolution scale as the experiments. Their number comes from gluons carrying the full range of
regular momentum in the proton. Gluon spin at this resolution thus contributes about 50% of the
proton’s spin—a substantial chunk of the total spin budget. This gluon spin contribution is, however,
too small to play a major role in screening the size of the quark spin contribution through the axial-
anomaly effect.
How does this result fit with our knowledge of the quark spin contribution? QCD-inspired models [7]
and lattice calculations [8] of the quark spin contribution suggest a very small contribution from the
sea quarks to the proton’s spin, in agreement with experiments. The small valence-quark spin
contribution can be explained within the best present theoretical errors in terms of a shift of total
angular momentum from the valence quarks into orbital angular momentum in the pion cloud.
Taken together, the results on the quark and gluon contributions to the proton spin yield a self-
consistent picture of the proton’s spin, based on the spin of the valence quarks, the gluon spin,
orbital angular momentum (including that of the pion cloud), and perhaps an additional topological
contribution. It is reassuring that QCD-inspired models, computational lattice calculations, and
experimental data for both quarks and gluons give results in the same ballpark. With ever-improving
computational power and techniques, one looks forward to having full calculations of the complete
quark and gluon spin and orbital contributions to the proton’s spin from each theoretical group and
lattice technique.
On the experimental side, more accurate information will hopefully follow from the electron-ion
collider that is proposed for construction at either Brookhaven National Laboratory or at Jefferson
Laboratory in the U.S. This project would allow one to measure the spin contribution from gluons
carrying as little as 0.1% of the proton’s momentum (a 50-fold improvement over present
experiments) with an error of about 0.05, as well as to make detailed studies of observables
dependent on quark and gluon orbital angular momentum [9].
This research is published in Physical Review Letters. [11]
Physicists Are About To Test A Hypothesis That Could Rewrite The
Textbooks A team of physicists suggested that the fundamental building unit proton can alter its structure
under certain circumstances. Scientists are now performing experiments to show that the structure
of protons can change inside the nucleus under certain conditions. If they become successful, all the
current studies are going to be reviewed. Anthony Thomas and his team have published their results
in Physical Review Letters. The experiments, which are currently underway in the US, aim to prove
that the structure of protons can change inside the nucleus of an atom under certain conditions. If
that's found to be the case, a whole lot of experiments are going to have to be reassessed.
The researcher, Anthony Thomas said “The idea that the internal structure of protons might change
under some specific conditions seems to be ridiculous, for most of the scientists. While for others
like me, indication of this internal change is highly pursued and would help to explicate some of the
uncertainties in theoretical physics”. This study has certain insinuations in the fields of nuclear and
theoretical physics. Protons are one of the smallest building blocks, made up of small particles
known as quarks, bound together by gluons. They consider that the protons present inside the nuclei
of atoms don’t have a fix structure.
But this concept seems not to satisfy the theory that explains relation between quarks and gluons
named as Quantum Chromodynamics.
Thomas said “By bombarding the beam of electrons at an atomic nucleus, we can evaluate the
difference in energy of the outgoing electrons. Now we are looking forward for the appropriate
outcomes.”
Thomas also said “The results are substantial for us. This could put forward a new concept for
nuclear physics”.
Whether their predictions are correct or not, the consequences are going to add a huge break-
through in our notions regarding the fundamental building blocks – protons. And will give rise to
some better concepts about the chemistry of everything around us. [10]
How a New Discovery in the World of Quarks Could Change Everything
In 2013, scientists announced the discovery of Zc(3900): the first confirmed particle made of four
quarks. Ultimately, quarks, other than being part of our namesake, are the infinitesimally small
building blocks of most of the matter in the universe. Previously we had no models to describe this
kind of particle, so this new discovery was kind of a bid deal.
Since the initial announcement in 2013, the BESIII collaboration - the team responsible for the find –
has made “a rapid string of related discoveries” on the topic of four-quark particles. In fact, it seems
that physicists are on the verge of having to create a new classification system to explain how these
exotic particles fit into the equation, especially now that the findings have been confirmed.
This will likely require a lot of work. You see, quarks have long been known to pair together in groups
of twos and threes. When we have two quark particles, they are known as “mesons,” and three
quark particles are known as “baryons.” You are probably rather familiar with the latter (even if you
don’t realize it), as baryons make up both protons and neutrons, the building blocks that constitute
every atom in your body and everything else around you; hence, why this discovery is of so much
importance.
Today, we wanted to revisit some of the implications of these new four quark particles.
So we have a less-than-perfect model of quark particles, and since (as previously mentioned) they
make up matter, an accurate model has broad reaching implications on our understanding of the
universe.
Ultimately, this discovery is going to overthrow everything we know about the universe; it is not
going to topple the standard model. However, it does force one to stop and consider what other
discoveries are waiting for us on the horizon.
Researchers are expected to run decay experiments over the course of this year to determine its
nature with more precision. [1]
Digging Deeper
The diffraction patterns of the electromagnetic oscillators give the explanation of the Electroweak
and Electro-Strong interactions. [2] Lattice QCD gives the same results as the diffraction patterns
which explain the color confinement and the asymptotic freedom.
The hadronization is the diffraction pattern of the baryons giving the jet of the color – neutral
particles!
Asymmetry in the interference occurrences of oscillators The asymmetrical configurations are stable objects of the real physical world, because they cannot
annihilate. One of the most obvious asymmetry is the proton – electron mass rate Mp = 1840 Me
while they have equal charge. We explain this fact by the strong interaction of the proton, but how
remember it his strong interaction ability for example in the H – atom where are only
electromagnetic interactions among proton and electron.
This gives us the idea to origin the mass of proton from the electromagnetic interactions by the way
interference occurrences of oscillators. The uncertainty relation of Heisenberg makes sure that the
particles are oscillating.
The resultant intensity due to n equally spaced oscillators, all of equal amplitude but different from
one another in phase, either because they are driven differently in phase or because we are looking
at them an angle such that there is a difference in time delay:

If φ is infinitesimal so that sinφ = φ, than
(2) Ι = n2 Ι0
This gives us the idea of

There is an important feature about formula (1) which is that if the angle φ is increased by the
multiple of 2π, it makes no difference to the formula.
So
(4) d sin θ = m λ
and we get m-order beam if λ less than d. [6]
If d less than λ we get only zero-order one centered at θ = 0. Of course, there is also a beam in the
opposite direction. The right chooses of d and λ we can ensure the conservation of charge.
For example

To support this idea we can turn to the Planck distribution law, that is equal with the Bose

The structure of the proton and deuteron We must move to the higher T temperature if we want look into the nucleus or nucleon arrive to
d<10-13
cm. [2] If an electron with λe < d move across the proton then by (5) 2 (m+1) = n with m = 0
we get n = 2 so we need two particles with negative and two particles with positive charges. If the
proton can fraction to three parts, two with positive and one with negative charges, then the
reflection of oscillators are right. Because this very strange reflection where one part of the proton
with the electron together on the same side of the reflection, the all parts of the proton must be
quasi lepton so d > λq. One way dividing the proton to three parts is, dividing his oscillation by the
three direction of the space. We can order 1/3 e charge to each coordinates and 2/3 e charge to one
plane oscillation, because the charge is scalar. In this way the proton has two +2/3 e plane oscillation
and one linear oscillation with -1/3 e charge. The colors of quarks are coming from the three
directions of coordinates and the proton is colorless. The flavors of quarks are the possible
oscillations differently by energy and if they are plane or linear oscillations. We know there is no
possible reflecting two oscillations to each other which are completely orthogonal, so the quarks
never can be free, however there is an asymptotic freedom while their energy are increasing to turn
them to the orthogonally. If they will be completely orthogonal then they lose this reflection and
take new partners from the vacuum. Keeping the symmetry of the vacuum the new oscillations are
keeping all the conservation laws, like charge, number of baryons and leptons. The all features of
gluons are coming from this model. The mathematics of reflecting oscillators show Fermi statistics.
Important to mention that in the Deuteron there are 3 quarks of +2/3 and -1/3 charge, that is three
u and d quarks making the complete symmetry and because this its high stability.
Quarks in six-packs: Exotic Particle Confirmed [9]
The weak interaction The weak interaction transforms an electric charge in the diffraction pattern from one side to the
other side, causing an electric dipole momentum change, which violates the CP and time reversal
symmetry.
Another important issue of the quark model is when one quark changes its flavor such that a linear
oscillation transforms into plane oscillation or vice versa, changing the charge value with 1 or -1. This
kind of change in the oscillation mode requires not only parity change, but also charge and time
changes (CPT symmetry) resulting a right handed anti-neutrino or a left handed neutrino.
The right handed anti-neutrino and the left handed neutrino exist only because changing back the
quark flavor could happen only in reverse, because they are different geometrical constructions, the
u is 2 dimensional and positively charged and the d is 1 dimensional and negatively charged. It needs
also a time reversal, because anti particle (anti neutrino) is involved.
The neutrino is a 1/2spin creator particle to make equal the spins of the weak interaction, for
example neutron decay to 2 fermions, every particle is fermions with ½ spin. The weak interaction
changes the entropy since more or less particles will give more or less freedom of movement. The
entropy change is a result of temperature change and breaks the equality of oscillator diffraction
intensity of the Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics. This way it changes the time coordinate measure and
makes possible a different time dilation as of the special relativity.
The limit of the velocity of particles as the speed of light appropriate only for electrical charged
particles, since the accelerated charges are self maintaining locally the accelerating electric force.
The neutrinos are CP symmetry breaking particles compensated by time in the CPT symmetry, that is
the time coordinate not works as in the electromagnetic interactions, consequently the speed of
neutrinos is not limited by the speed of light.
The weak interaction T-asymmetry is in conjunction with the T-asymmetry of the second law of
thermodynamics, meaning that locally lowering entropy (on extremely high temperature) causes the
weak interaction, for example the Hydrogen fusion.
Probably because it is a spin creating movement changing linear oscillation to 2 dimensional
oscillation by changing d to u quark and creating anti neutrino going back in time relative to the
proton and electron created from the neutron, it seems that the anti neutrino fastest then the
velocity of the photons created also in this weak interaction?
A quark flavor changing shows that it is a reflection changes movement and the CP- and T- symmetry
breaking. This flavor changing oscillation could prove that it could be also on higher level such as
atoms, molecules, probably big biological significant molecules and responsible on the aging of the
life.
Important to mention that the weak interaction is always contains particles and antiparticles, where
the neutrinos (antineutrinos) present the opposite side. It means by Feynman’s interpretation that
these particles present the backward time and probably because this they seem to move faster than
the speed of light in the reference frame of the other side.
Finally since the weak interaction is an electric dipole change with ½ spin creating; it is limited by the
velocity of the electromagnetic wave, so the neutrino’s velocity cannot exceed the velocity of light.
The Strong Interaction - QCD
Confinement and Asymptotic Freedom
For any theory to provide a successful description of strong interactions it should simultaneously
exhibit the phenomena of confinement at large distances and asymptotic freedom at short
distances. Lattice calculations support the hypothesis that for non-abelian gauge theories the two
domains are analytically connected, and confinement and asymptotic freedom coexist.
Similarly, one way to show that QCD is the correct theory of strong interactions is that the coupling
extracted at various scales (using experimental data or lattice simulations) is unique in the sense that
its variation with scale is given by the renormalization group. The data for αs is reviewed in Section
19. In this section I will discuss what these statements mean and imply. [4]
Lattice QCD
Lattice QCD is a well-established non-perturbative approach to solving the quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) theory of quarks and gluons. It is a lattice gauge theory formulated on a grid
or lattice of points in space and time. When the size of the lattice is taken infinitely large and its sites
infinitesimally close to each other, the continuum QCD is recovered. [6]
Analytic or perturbative solutions in low-energy QCD are hard or impossible due to the highly nonlinear nature of the strong force. This formulation of QCD in discrete rather than continuous space-time naturally introduces a momentum cut-off at the order 1/a, where a is the lattice spacing, which regularizes the theory. As a result, lattice QCD is mathematically well-defined. Most importantly, lattice QCD provides a framework for investigation of non-perturbative phenomena such as confinement and quark-gluon plasma formation, which are intractable by means of analytic field theories.
In lattice QCD, fields representing quarks are defined at lattice sites (which leads to fermion doubling), while the gluon fields are defined on the links connecting neighboring sites.
QCD
QCD enjoys two peculiar properties:
• Confinement, which means that the force between quarks does not diminish as they are
separated. Because of this, it would take an infinite amount of energy to separate two
quarks; they are forever bound into hadrons such as the proton and the neutron. Although
analytically unproven, confinement is widely believed to be true because it explains the
consistent failure of free quark searches, and it is easy to demonstrate in lattice QCD.
• Asymptotic freedom, which means that in very high-energy reactions, quarks and gluons
interact very weakly. This prediction of QCD was first discovered in the early 1970s by David
Politzer and by Frank Wilczek and David Gross. For this work they were awarded the 2004
Nobel Prize in Physics.
There is no known phase-transition line separating these two properties; confinement is dominant in low-energy scales but, as energy increases, asymptotic freedom becomes dominant. [5]
Color Confinement When two quarks become separated, as happens in particle accelerator collisions, at some point it is
more energetically favorable for a new quark-antiquark pair to spontaneously appear, than to allow
the tube to extend further. As a result of this, when quarks are produced in particle accelerators,
instead of seeing the individual quarks in detectors, scientists see "jets" of many color-neutral
particles (mesons and baryons), clustered together. This process is called hadronization,
fragmentation, or string breaking, and is one of the least understood processes in particle physics.
[3]
Electromagnetic inertia and mass
Electromagnetic Induction
Since the magnetic induction creates a negative electric field as a result of the changing acceleration,
it works as an electromagnetic inertia, causing an electromagnetic mass. [1]
The frequency dependence of mass
Since E = hν and E = mc2, m = hν /c
2 that is the m depends only on the ν frequency. It means that the
mass of the proton and electron are electromagnetic and the result of the electromagnetic
induction, caused by the changing acceleration of the spinning and moving charge! It could be that
the mo inertial mass is the result of the spin, since this is the only accelerating motion of the electric
charge. Since the accelerating motion has different frequency for the electron in the atom and the
proton, they masses are different, also as the wavelengths on both sides of the diffraction pattern,
giving equal intensity of radiation.
Electron – Proton mass rate
The Planck distribution law explains the different frequencies of the proton and electron, giving
equal intensity to different lambda wavelengths! Also since the particles are diffraction patterns
they have some closeness to each other. [2]
There is an asymmetry between the mass of the electric charges, for example proton and electron,
can understood by the asymmetrical Planck Distribution Law. This temperature dependent energy
distribution is asymmetric around the maximum intensity, where the annihilation of matter and
antimatter is a high probability event. The asymmetric sides are creating different frequencies of
electromagnetic radiations being in the same intensity level and compensating each other. One of
these compensating ratios is the electron – proton mass ratio. The lower energy side has no
compensating intensity level, it is the dark energy and the corresponding matter is the dark matter.
The potential of the diffraction pattern The force that holds protons and neutrons together is extremely strong. It has to be strong to overcome the electric repulsion between the positively charged protons. It is also of very short range, acting only when two particles are within 1 or 2 fm of each other.
1 fm (femto meter) = 10^{-15} m = 10-15 m = 0.000000000000001 meters.
The qualitative features of the nucleon-nucleon force are shown below.
There is an extremely strong short-range repulsion that pushes protons and neutrons apart before they can get close enough to touch. (This is shown in orange.) This repulsion can be understood to arise because the quarks in individual nucleons are forbidden to be in the same area by the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
There is a medium-range attraction (pulling the neutrons and protons together) that is strongest for separations of about 1 fm. (This is shown in gray.) This attraction can be understood to arise from the exchange of quarks between the nucleons, something that looks a lot like the exchange of a pion when the separation is large.
The density of nuclei is limited by the short range repulsion. The maximum size of nuclei is limited by the fact that the attractive force dies away extremely quickly (exponentially) when nucleons are more than a few fm apart.
Elements beyond uranium (which has 92 protons), particularly the trans-fermium elements (with more than 100 protons), tend to be unstable to fission or alpha decay because the Coulomb repulsion between protons falls off much more slowly than the nuclear attraction. This means that each proton sees repulsion from every other proton but only feels an attractive force from the few neutrons and protons that are nearby -- even if there is a large excess of neutrons.
Some "super heavy nuclei" (new elements with about 114 protons) might turn out to be stable as a result of the same kind of quantum mechanical shell-closure that makes noble gases very stable chemically. [7]
Exotic Mesons and Hadrons Exotic Mesons and Hadrons are high energy diffraction patterns of the electromagnetic oscillations.
They aren't brake the Electro-Strong Interaction barriers and with a complete agreement with this
theory.
Conclusions The Electro-Strong Interaction gives an explanation of the Exotic Mesons and Hadrons. Lattice QCD
gives the same results as the diffraction theory of the electromagnetic oscillators, which is the
explanation of the strong force and the quark confinement. [8]
